(Phoenix, AZ) Some valley groups want to see a settlement from the Volkswagen emissions scandal go toward cleaning up Arizona's school buses. Chispa Arizona, the Sierra Club and the Moms Clean Air Force are asking school districts to use their VW Settlement funds on zero emission electric school buses. Governor Ducey has proposed two-thirds of a $52-million settlement go toward electric buses, but school districts will make the final call. Maricopa County has had an air quality pollution alert almost every day for at least the past month.
